Members smorgdonkey Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 Plain or subtle flame is good...all of the over-the-top stuff should be PRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ExiledCrow Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 You're both crazy and should defer to me in ALL questions of taste. As proof of my superior taste I refer you to my oh-so-clever boob reference above ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 My LP's flame can be subtle or strong depending on the light and angle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bdegrande Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 Almost a candidate for Peter Griffin's Side-Boob Hour here .... True, that's a better top than plain or flame or quilted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackCat Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 If your're crazy then I am too. I much prefer the plain top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twofoolsaminute Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 First off, no you're not crazy. Lots of people prefer plain tops. I could go either way. Secondly, What finish is this. I love it. That is the perfect burst. i prefer plain tops too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcooper830 Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 Jayzuz, but you boys know {censored} all:wave: Yes I think the double creams are acceptable in this case. But we really need to do something about those gold speed knobs..... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 For Les Paul lovers, Am I crazy to love plain top over flame tops?? I just can't stop GASing for the naturally aged plain top Les Paul. No hard feeling. I just don't feel the flame tops as much. What about you? Always (well since 1986/7) prefered plain top guitars over any AAA flame / tiger stripe / exotic amazon what ever top ! Plain just look so much more classy and less bling than a flame. YMMV.

Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 and Johnny Hickman can't be wrong. I went flametop for the Gretsch. If only i can get one of those http://images.gibson.com/Files/d4f4d5a9-ee4a-4f2f-b248-5b225b3da02e.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
